Festival of History

Festival of History in Arundel | 27th to 29th August 2022 | Arundel Castle, Arundel, West Sussex

Festival of History in Arundel at Arundel Castle, from 27th to 29th August 2022 discover the excitement of life in Britain from the Stone Age to the modern-day with historical activities, displays and demonstrations.

Characters from the past demonstrate combat, cookery and crafts in the large encampment of tents through the ages. Our medieval blacksmith hammers out iron heated on a blazing forge, Bronze age man grinds flour and our Roman gladiator trains with fork and net.

The falconers impress us with their mastery of these magnificent birds of prey and Victorian beggars pester you for a few pennies to feed their hungry children.

Throughout our history, we have fought each other with swords, bows and guns. Enjoy the clash of steel, the deadly silence of arrows in flight, the thud of axes and sounds of gunfire during 12,000 years of combat.

Our Knights Table will be serving delicious food and drinks, inspired by the past.

There will be a rolling programme of historical activities and demonstrations throughout the day.

Ticket includes castle, grounds & gardens and full access to the event.
